How to Make Coconut Lime Sours

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
  2. Whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) chilled, cubed unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  5. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup shredded coconut, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
  6. Pour the coconut mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  7. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon lime zest until smooth.
  10. Spread the lime glaze evenly over the cooled bars.
  11. Once the glaze is set, cut into bars and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
